Lenand ELS vehicles nearly always have a twin: the same car, truck or van listed again as NON-ELS. Buyers ask the same handful of questions about that split, so this post answers them directly and lists four matched pairs plus the script Lenand ships for the NON-ELS side.
The short version: ELS is the Emergency Lighting System resource that many FiveM servers run, and the ELS build of a vehicle is set up for it. If your server does not run ELS, the NON-ELS build is the one to buy. Everything below is a Lenand listing on FiveM Shops.
Lenand ELS vehicles and their NON-ELS twins
Every Lenand listing puts the build at the end of the title, so the suffix is the quickest way to check what you are looking at. The pairs below run across police, fire and EMS, and each one is the same vehicle listed twice.
Lenand Benefactor MBT LBX3 "NRW Style" 2026 - ELS
Lenand Benefactor MBT LBX3 "NRW Style" 2026 - ELS is the 2026 NRW Style patrol car in its ELS form, and Lenand Benefactor MBT LBX3 "NRW Style" 2026 - NON-ELS is the same car for servers without the resource. NRW Style refers to the North Rhine-Westphalia look named in the title. Both are listed under Police Vehicles, and a One Year Edition of the LBX3 exists as well.
Best for: departments modelled on North Rhine-Westphalia.
Lenand BF Wolf KDOW LBX2 - ELS
Lenand BF Wolf KDOW LBX2 - ELS and Lenand BF Wolf KDOW LBX2 - NON-ELS are the KdoW pair on the Benefactor Wolf. KdoW is the German command car designation, so this is the unit a fire chief or duty officer drives. The two listings differ only in the lighting build, which makes the Wolf a clean example of how the split works.
Best for: fire chiefs and duty officers.
Lenand Brute Bostadt HLF - ELS
Lenand Brute Bostadt HLF - ELS is the Bostadt-style HLF on the Brute, and Lenand Brute Bostadt HLF - NON-ELS is its twin. Bostadt is a name Lenand uses across several listings, including a DLK and an ELW, so a station can be built entirely in that style on either side of the ELS choice.
Best for: stations built in the Bostadt style.
Lenand Bostadt Pack - NON-ELS
Lenand Bostadt Pack - NON-ELS shows that the split runs through the packs too, not only through single vehicles. The same pack is listed as an ELS build, so a station can take its whole Bostadt fleet on whichever side it has settled on. Ordering a pack is also the simplest way to avoid a mixed fleet, because everything inside it arrives on one side of the split.
Best for: stations buying a whole Bostadt fleet in one order.
Lenand Benefactor Tourer Bavarian Ambulance / Rtw - Els
On the EMS side, Lenand Benefactor Tourer Bavarian Ambulance / Rtw - Els and Lenand Benefactor Tourer Bavarian Ambulance / Rtw - Non-Els are the Bavarian-style RTW on the Tourer, both listed in the EMS and Fire Vehicles collection. The pair shows that the split runs through ambulances just as it does through patrol cars.
Best for: EMS services in a Bavarian style.
Lenand LND_LSRC - A NON-ELS Light & Siren Controller
Lenand LND_LSRC - A NON-ELS Light & Siren Controller is the script side of the answer. Its title describes it exactly: a light and siren controller for NON-ELS vehicles. If you go the NON-ELS route, this is the Lenand resource that gives players control of the lighting on the vehicles above.
Best for: servers that run the NON-ELS builds.
A checklist before ordering Lenand ELS vehicles
- Your server runs the ELS resource: buy the ELS build.
- No ELS resource: buy NON-ELS and add the LND_LSRC controller.
- Keep the whole fleet on one side of the split.
- Read the end of the listing title; ELS or NON-ELS is always the last part.
- When a pair exists, the two listings share the same name apart from that suffix.
- Packs carry the suffix as well, so read it before ordering a whole fleet.
- The LND_LSRC controller belongs with the NON-ELS builds rather than the ELS ones.
Lenand ELS vehicles: frequently asked questions
Can I run ELS and NON-ELS vehicles together
You can, but players moving between units will face two different control schemes. Most servers pick one side and stay there. It also reads badly in a scene, because one unit lights up in a way the car parked next to it cannot.
Does every Lenand vehicle have both builds
Most do, but not all. Some listings, such as the Sw/dot Pack June 2025 or the Unmarked Police Pack 1, appear only as ELS, so check the collection before assuming a twin exists.
What does the NON-ELS controller do
Its title says it controls lights and sirens for NON-ELS vehicles. Treat it as the companion to the NON-ELS builds rather than a replacement for ELS.
Does the choice change anything besides the lighting
The listings describe a lighting difference, so treat the model itself as the same either way. What changes on your server is which resource controls the lights and sirens, and which one your players have to learn.
Which build should a new server pick
If you have not installed ELS yet, NON-ELS plus the controller keeps things simpler. If ELS is already running, stay with the ELS builds.
Browse both sides in the Police Vehicles collection and find the controller under Scripts on FiveM Shops. Lenand ELS vehicles and their NON-ELS twins are the same designs, so the only wrong choice is mixing them.
